DietBet anyone?
I've been on MyFitnessPal for quite a while and it was very helpful in helping me stay accountable to the food I put in my mouth and lose weight before the surrogacy.
When I was pregnant I couldn't make MFP understand that I wanted to gain weight at a different rate than it offered and honestly it got to be too much for me to remember every day. Babby is gone now and while I've lost all the weight I put on during pregnancy (kinda proud of that, actually), I still have more to lose to get to where I'm comfortable with my size.
I've been using Endomondo for tracking my exercise (which, fantastically enough, links to MFP), but I'm thinking I need to step it up a bit. I need a bit more motivation than "I wanna look good in a Harley Quinn costume."
Enter DietBet. Friends bet that they can lose 4% of their starting weight in 4 weeks. For me, that's 1.6 pounds a week. Each player contributes an equal amount of money in hopes that they win either the whole pot or split it with the rest of the players that also lost 4% of their weight!
So, anyone game?

I'll get in on this. Is it app driven, or all on a site?
Wanna play??
...and sabotage everyone by sending tasty treats...
You may win cash... but at what cost? Food for thought.
Y'all missed out on a TERRIFIC opportunity to take money from me.
...I'm probably going to hit my DietBet goal weight this week or next. Got some good incentive too: I'm in two other games that started the same day.
I'm also in another game that started the same day as mine. And I started a new one this week, so I'll have incentive to keep going past the original 4 weeks.
In the long run, I'll be healthier, but in the short run: I want that money!!
I'm still betting that you'll make your goal weight. Either way, beers on me at Expo
BUT!
I'm also down 6.75 inches all around, with the majority of it coming off my hips and waist; nearly 2 inches from each!
Kind of embarrassing to show these pictures here, but I know it'll help with my motivation and accountabiility.
So the first pic, April 2, was just before my trip to Vegas. I ate a "bit" more than I should have that weekend, so my second picture, one week into the challenge, I definitely look bigger.
But I'm starting to lose the bulge on my right side from where Chloe (the not-my-baby baby) liked to stretch out and my "mommy jell-o" below my belly button is starting to shrink.
I'm fairly certain I will not win this challenge as I still have a little over 6 pounds to lose in about 2 weeks. But, hey. I'm getting healthy. That's the point, right?
This sucks.
As for exercise, I actually take the weekends off, but that's mainly because my primary workout is karate and by Friday my body needs a couple of recovery days.
